Why Zoaroo?
Things happen when you are riding. Sometimes it’s not so easy to get help when you are down:
- Fatigued and dropped by the group
- Mechanical failure
- If you crash and need assistance; First Aid; life threatening emergencies
- Biked off more than you can do
Solution: ZOAROO to the rescue!
3 Reasons you should try ZOAROO:
- Speed of service. Zoaroo bike mechanics come along local group rides to support cyclists by delivering new equipment and quick repairs when their bicycles are rendered immobile.
- Safety and support for all demographics. Zoaroo improves the safety of all cyclists and encourage newcomers—attracting a diverse audience of non-cyclists into the cycling space.
- Gives back to the local community. Zoaroo hires local skilled mechanics and creates jobs for youths by partnering with non-profit youth programs, such as Baltimore Youth Kinetic Energy Collective (BYKE) and Spokes of Genius. Zoaroo creates a safe space for training young people who have an interest in repairing bikes.
Zoaroo photographers/videographers will occasionally come on rides to capture those magical moments!
Give now and/or become a sponsor to help Zoaroo move with the speed of cyclists. We are on track to develop a mobile app that would allow us to more quickly monitor and track you on group rides, especially when you run into problems on the road.
